Abstract

To estimate the effect of rainfall on soil respiration, soil $CO_2$ efflux was measured with a manipulation of rainfall interception at a broad-leaved deciduous forest in western Japan from 20 February to 19 November 2001. The diurnal patterns of soil respiration observed at the intercepted subplot ($F_c$) were quite similar to those of soil temperature at 0.2 m depth with a maximum around midnight and a minimum from noon to early afternoon. Such diurnal patterns have not been observed in the previous studies at the same study site under natural conditions (which manifested no clear diurnal variations). Furthermore, the magnitudes of $F_c$ showed substantial differences (e.g., ~50% reduction under water-limited conditions) compared to those of the potential soil respiration under natural conditions ($F_{cal}$). These findings demonstrate that rainfall events not only affected the magnitude of soil $CO_2$ efflux but also modified the vertical structure of soil temperature, thereby altering diurnal patterns of soil respiration.

강우가 토양 호흡에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해, 일본 서부에 위치한 활엽수림에서 2001년 2월 20일부터 11월 19일까지 강우를 차단한 상태에서 토양 $CO_2$ 플럭스를 측정하였다. 강우가 차단된 관측지의 토양 호흡($F_c$)의 일변화는 0.2m 깊이의 토양 온도의 일변화와 매우 비슷하였으며, 자정에 최고값을 보이고 정오에서 이른 오후 사이에 최저값을 나타내었다. 이러한 뚜렷한 일변화 패턴은 같은 관측지에서 강우가 차단되지 않은 상태에서 관측된 선행연구의 결과(뚜렷한 일변화의 부재)와 대조되었다. 또한, 자연상태의 가능토양호흡(potential soil respiration, $F_{cal}$)의 크기와 비교할 때, 강우가 차단된 관측지의 토양호흡은 매우 큰 차이(예를 들면, 토양수분이이 부족할 때 약 50% 감소)를 보였다. 이 연구결과는 강우가 토양 $CO_2$ 플럭스의 크기뿐만이 아니라 토양온도의 연직 프로파일을 바꿈으로써 토양호흡의 일변화 양상에도 영향을 미침을 보여준다.
